The workshop, which takes place in Estabrook Park on Milwaukee’s East Side, is intended to help participants deepen their connection with nature and one another. Participants will experience a balance of guidance, reflection, quiet time and sharing as a community, all while immersing themselves in the energies and pace of nature. The workshop is based on the work of Joanna Macy, an eco-philosopher, activist and Buddhist practitioner.

“Mother Earth for thousands of years has been offering us Her resources to rejuvenate us. Whether it’s just everyday life, a pandemic or social unrest, we can join with Her and one another to find refuge,” says DeSellier.
